It has now been found that compounds of the formula I have a microbicidal spectrum which is particularly favourable for practical requirements for the control of phytopathogenic microorganisms, in particular fungi. They have very advantageous curative, preventive and, in particular, systemic properties and can be employed for the protection of numerous plants. The pests which occur on plants or parts of plants (fruit, blossom, foliage, stems, tubers, roots) of various crops of useful plants can be checked or destroyed using the active compounds of the formula I, parts of plants which additionally grow later also remaining protected from phytopathogenic microorganisms.

The compounds of the formula I can furthermore be employed as dressing compositions for the treatment of seed (fruits, tubers, grains) and plant seedlings for protection against fungal infections and against phytopathogenic fungi occuring in the soil.

Compounds of the formula I are active, for example, against the phytopathogenic fungi belonging to the following classes: Fungi imperfecti (in particular Botrytis, Pyricularia, Helminthosporium, Fusarium, Septoria, Cercospora, Pseudocercosporella and Alternaria); Basidiomycetes (for example Rhizoctonia, Hemileia, Puccinia); Ascomycetes (for example Venturia and Erysiphe, Podosphaera, Monilinia, Uncinula), and in particular also against Oomycetes (for example Phytophthora, Peronospora, Bremia, Pythium, Plasmopara).

The compounds of the formula I according to the invention furthermore are valuable active compounds against insects and pests of the order Acarina such as occur on useful plants and ornamentals in agriculture and in horticulture and in forestry. The compounds of the formula I are particularly suitable for controlling pests in cotton, vegetable, fruit and rice crops, such as spider mites, aphids, butterfly caterpillars and rice cicadas. Spider mites such as Panonychus ulmi, aphids such as Aphis craccivora, butterfly caterpillars such as those of Heliothis virescens and rice cicadas such as Nilaparvata lugens or Nephotettix cincticeps can chiefly be controlled.

The good pesticidal action of the compounds I according to the invention corresponds to a destruction rate (mortality) of at least 50-60% of the pests mentioned.

Other fields of use of the active compounds according to the invention are the protection of stored products and materials where the goods stored are protected against rotting and moulding and against animal pests (for example grain weavils, mites, fly maggots and the like). In the hygiene sector, compounds of the formula I effect successful control of animal parasites, such as ticks, mites, warble flies and the like on domestic animals and productive livestock. The compounds I are active against individual or all development stages of normally sensitive and also resistant species of pests. Their action can manifest itself here, for example, in a destruction of the pests occuring immediately or only after some time, for example at molting, or in a reduced oviposition and/or hatching rate.

The action of the compounds I according to the invention and of the compositions comprising them can be broadened substantially and adapted to given circumstances by addition of other insecticides and/or acaricides. Additives are, for example, representatives of the following classes of active compound: organic phosphorus compounds, nitrophenols and derivatives, formamidines, ureas, carbamates, pyrethroids and chlorinated hydrocarbons.

In the context of this invention, examples of target crops for the plant-protecting use disclosed herein are the following species of plants: cereals (wheat, barley, rye, oats, triticale, rice, maize, sorghum and related species); beet (sugar and feeding beet); pome, stone and soft fruit (apples, pears, plums, peaches, almonds, cherries, strawberries, gooseberries, raspberries and blackberries); leguminous plants (beans, lentils, peas and soya); oil crops (oilseed rape, mustard, poppy, olive, sunflower, coconut, castor, cacao and groundnut); cucumber plants (pumpkins, cucumbers and melons); fibre plants (cotton, flax, hemp and jute); citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, grapefruits and mandarins); varieties of vegetables (spinach, lettuce, asparagus, cabbage species, carrots, onions, tomatoes, potatoes and capsicums); lauraceous plants (avocado, cinnamonium and camphor), or plants such as tobacco, nuts, coffee, cane sugar, tea, peppers and other spice plants, vines, hops, aubergines, musaceae and natural rubber plants as well as flowers and ornamentals.

Active compounds of the formula I are usually used in the form of compositions and can be introduced onto the area or plants to be treated at the same time as or after other active compounds. These other active compounds can be both fertilizers and suppliers of trace elements, or other preparations which influence plant growth. It is also possible to use here selective herbicides, as well as other insecticides, fungicides, bactericides, nematicides, molluscicides or mixtures of several of these preparations, together with, where appropriate, other carriers, surfactants or other application-promoting additives conventionally used in the art of formulation, without the activity of the compounds of the formula I being impaired.

Suitable carriers and additives can be solid or liquid and are the substances used for this purpose in the art of formulation, for example naturally occurring or regenerated mineral substances, solvents, dispersing agents, wetting agents, tackifiers, thickeners, binders or fertilizers.

Solvents are: aromatic hydrocarbons, preferably fractions C₈ to C₁₂, for example xylene mixtures or substituted naphthalenes, phthalic acid esters, such as dibutyl or dioctyl phthalate, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane or paraffins, alcohols and glycols and ethers and esters thereof, such as ethanol, ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether or ethyl ether, ketones, such as cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents, such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide or dimethylformamide, and epoxidized or non-epoxidized vegetable oils, such as epoxidized coconut oil or soya oil; or water.

The solid carriers used, for example for dusts and dispersible powders, are as a rule naturally occurring rock powders, such as calcite, talc, kaolin, montmorillonite or attapulgite.

Particularly advantageous application-promoting adjuvants, which can lead to a marked reduction in the rate of application, are furthermore naturally occurring (animal or vegetable) or synthetic phospholipids from the series consisting of cephalins and lecithins, which can be obtained, for example, from soy beans.

Surface-active compounds are, depending on the nature of the active compound of the formula I to be formulated, nonionic, cationic and/or anionic surfactants having good emulsifying, dispersing and wetting properties. Surfactants are also to be understood as meaning surfactant mixtures.

Suitable anionic surfactants can be both so-called water-soluble soaps and water-soluble synthetic surface-active compounds.

Soaps are the alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or substituted or unsubstituted ammonium salts of higher fatty acids (C₁ O-C₂₂), for example the Na or K salts of oleic or stearic acid, or of naturally occurring fatty acid mixtures, which can be obtained, for example, from coconut oil or tallow oil. They are also the fatty acid methyltaurine salts.

Nonionic surfactants are polyglycol ether derivatives of aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohols, saturated or unsaturated fatty acids and alkylphenols, which can contain 3 to 30 glycol ether groups and 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the (aliphatic) hydrocarbon radical and 6 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical of the alkylphenols.

Examples of nonionic surfactants are nonylphenol-polyoxyethanols, castor oil polyglycol ethers, polypropylene/polyethylene oxide adducts, tributylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol, polyethylene glycol and octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol.

They can also be fatty acid esters of polyoxyethylene sorbitan, such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate.

The cationic surfactants are, in particular, quaternary ammonium salts which contain at least one alkyl radical having 8 to 22 C atoms as substituents on N and lower, non-halogenated or halogenated alkyl, benzyl or lower hydroxyalkyl radicals as further substituents.

The anionic, nonionic or cationic surfactants conventionally used in the art of formulation are known to the expert or can be found in the relevant technical literature.

The agrochemical formulations as a rule comprise 0.1 to 99%, in particular 0.1 to 95%, of active compound of the formula I, 99.9 to 1%, in particular 99.9 to 5%, of a solid or liquid additive and 0 to 25%, in particular 0.1 to 25%, of a surfactant.

While concentrated compositions are more preferable as commercial goods, the end user as a rule uses dilute compositions.

The compositions can also comprise further additives, such as stabilizers, foam suppressants, viscosity regulators, binders, tackifiers and fertilizers, or other active compounds to achieve specific effects.

The formulations, i.e. the compositions, preparations or combinations comprising the active compound of the formula I and, if appropriate, a solid or liquid additive, are prepared in a known manner, for example by intimate mixing and/or grinding of the active compound with an extender, for example with a solvent (mixture), a solid carrier material and, if appropriate, surface-active compounds (surfactants).

A preferred method for application of an active compound of the formula I or of an agrochemical composition which comprises at least one of these active compounds is application to the foliage (leaf application). The application frequency and rate of application depend here on the risk of infestation by the pathogen in question. However, the active compounds of the formula I can also enter the plants via the soil through the root system (systemic action), by soaking the locus of the plants with a liquid formulation or introducing the substances into the soil in solid form, for example in the form of granules (soil application). In the case of paddy rice crops, such granules can be metered into the flooded rice field. However, the compounds of the formula I can also be applied to seed grains (coating), by either soaking the grains in a liquid formulation of the active compound or coating them with a solid formulation. In principle, any type of plant propagation material can be protected with compounds of the formula I, for example the seed, roots, stems, branches or shoots.

The compounds of the formula I are employed here in unchanged form or, preferably, together with the auxiliaries conventionally used in the art of formulation. For this, they are advantageously processed in a known manner, for example to emulsion concentrates, spreadable pastes, directly sprayable or dilutable solutions, dilute emulsions, wettable powders, soluble powders, dusts or granules (by encapsulation in, for example, polymeric substances). The methods of use, such as spraying, atomizing, dusting, scattering, brushing on or watering, are chosen according to the intended aims and the given circumstances, as is also the nature of the composition. Favourable rates of application are in general 1 g to 2 kg of active substance (AS) per ha, preferably 25 g to 800 g of AS/ha, and particularly preferably 50 g to 400 g of AS/ha. When used as a seed dressing, dosages of 0.001 to 1.0 g of active compound per kg of seed are advantageously used.

The following examples serve to illustrate the invention in more detail without limiting it.

The green suspension is cooled to room temperature, stirred into 100 ml of water and extracted three times with 80 ml of ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts are washed twice with half-saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated on a Rotavap. The oily residue is chromatographed over 100 g of silica gel with hexane/ethyl acetate (9:1) and then crystallized from MTBE/hexane (1:4). The compound 5.6 is obtained as white crystals of melting point 146° C. ##STR32##

2.4 ml of triethylamine and 1.23 g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride are added to a solution of 6.74 g of O-methyl 2-{2-[2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-methoximino-1-methyl-ethylideneaminooxy-methyl]-phenyl}-2-methoximino-acetimidate (prepared from the corresponding acetamide and trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate) in 50 ml of methanol at room temperature. After 1.5 hours, 20 ml of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution are added to the suspension. The white solid is filtered off, washed with 30 ml of water and dried (45° C., 100 mbar). The amide-oxime XXIII is obtained as crystals of melting point 160° C. ##STR33##

1.5 g of XXIV are dissolved in 20 ml of acetic acid and the solution is heated at 100° C. for 45 minutes, becoming orange in colour. The cooled reaction mixture is stirred into 100 ml of water and extracted three times with 20 ml of ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts are evaporated on a Rotavap and the oily residue is chromatographed over 160 g of silica gel with hexane/ethyl acetate 9:1 to 8:2. The compound 6.73 is obtained as a resin.
